Better Bottom Line
The Fall 2018 release offers better data visibility for the business side of your practice. Drive better patient financials with the new NextGen® Pre-Service Solutions* (powered by Availity). Simplify the pre-service experience for patients, provide cost transparency, and create easier, more effective conversations with patients about financial responsibility.

- Create real-time patient cost estimation and financial scripting
- Get accurate information about patients’ ability to pay
Better Clinical Template Design
Our Fall 2018 release marks the beginning of a new era in our clinical templates (formerly KBM). NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine is a major, multi-year, multi-release, architectural re-platforming of how clinical content is built and expressed in the NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
- Maintain your template customizations for easier upgrades
- Spend less time to preserve or adjust custom workflows
- Reduced cost-of-ownership; improved quality, performance, reliability
Better patient engagement
Say hello to telehealth! Through our new partnership with telehealth innovator OTTO Health*, clients can incorporate telehealth functionality into the NextGen Enterprise platform (5.9/8.4 or higher). Telehealth functionality opens a new window of convenience, service, solutions, and satisfaction for both patients and providers.
There’s even more in the Fall 2018 release. Find a better user experience with new behavioral health (BH) program configuration options in the EHR and PM; better specialty practice functions; a streamlined and more secure patient portal; third-party data that’s more actionable across the patient care continuum; and standards-based data exchange drives extensive interoperability.
*Each of these software modules/capabilities—NextGen Population Health; NextGen Pre-Service Solutions; telehealth functionality through OTTO Health—integrates with our NextGen® Enterprise solution. However, each is not included as part of the core application of our GR version. Each module/capability carries an additional cost, may be subject to additional terms and conditions, and is subject to availability. Contact your sales representative for complete details
